[TYPO3-mvc] FED SQL Query with sys_language_uid

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi,

sorry, but reading this I have to rant. Please don't take it personal, 
but just rethink the approach.

Oh boy. Why do you even think of doing such things?
It reduces the MVC pattern to absurdity.

And when I see the variable passed to this view helper I instantly 
complete the controller code in my brain:

public function showAction() {
[...]
	$this->view->assign('theVariableWithLanguageUid', $_GET['L']);
}

You don't want to do that. Period.

Kind regards,
Helmut
